It has long been the worst kept secret in town that the current third jersey will become the primary, and be matched with a road white for the team's 40th Anniversary. But it was also believed that the current home blues, with everyone's favorite Reebok-imposed limp excuse for a logo, would become the third jersey. But that now seems like it may not be the case.

If you skip all of the excuses, half-truths, and pandering spin in the latest interview with The Lawrence himself, Larry Quinn, you'll hear him confirm that a new white uniform is coming next year for the 40th. But that's not all.

He actually says that we're making a permanent uni switch, complete with an all-new third jersey. What does that mean for the ol' sluggaroo?

As a long-suffering fan of the expansion cousin, Canucks, I am extremely happy for all Buffalo Sabre fans. I do hope the vertical piping gets dropped and the traditional white and gold piping on the pants is added. Royal blue or navy blue. Either works. I even think a third yellow uniform with the yellow and white inverted would look great. As for my Canucks, I hope that our current third becomes our full-time sweater next year. To be honest, I hope our new crest will be the full-body Johnny Canuck logo. Good luck Sabre fans!

I would have to agree that the B-sword will be the third jersey. It has been a logo that the team's marketers have grown pretty fond of and would involve a lot less costs in terms of designing and coming up with another logo to put in print, merchandise, and in the arena. I bet the B-Sword would replace the current slug on the scoreboard too.

I haven't seen any merchandise with the "City of Hockey" logo on it yet. Maybe, they'll create a new third jersey around that. Much like the Wild's home jersey feature's the away (and former home) logo at its center, our third would feature the original logo (basically, the same as what is now the third and will be the home) at its center.

No gold please. It's an accent color. They do already sell a lot of Bsword stuff which means:a) there will be no backlashb) it sellsc) it hasn't be prominent on a jersey yet so there will be plenty of jerseys to sell
